How do you fix video card windows vista?

Answer 1

This could depend on the nature of the problem. Sometimes, a graphics card could be damaged in which case the user will not likely be able to do anything on his or her own to fix it and the unit will likely have to be sent in for repair to the company from which the machine was purchased.

More commonly, however, this problem may be solved with a driver update. I'm unsure of your computer experience, so I will mention that driver is something which lets your computer understand and use things hooked up to it, anything from a printer to a graphics card. From time to time, there are updates for drivers and without the updates they will sometimes not function correctly.

Try this first: go to your Windows 7 Start menu (lower left-hand corner of your screen) and click it.

Right click on "Computer" and when the small menu opens, click "Manage"

When the next screen appears, there should be a menu with small icons on it, and one of them near the bottom says "Device Manager." Select this.

Another list of small icons appears, and one of them says "Display Adapters." Click this, and it will show you whatever your video card is (For example, Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family).

It's very likely your machine is using an Intel device, but whatever you DO have will be displayed there.

Assuming it's Intel, intel support/detect will take you to Intel's website where it should be able to automatically detect the driver you need. Try installing the new drivers for your graphics card and see if it affects the problem.
